3. We adhere firmly to the American policy,
under whose operation unexampled prosperity
and thrift have blessed the land, and hold
that any changes to be made in the tariff laws
should be made by the friends of those laws,
and in the interest OF protection of labor on
our own soil and of home markets, not by or
In the interest OF free trade propagandists not
for the benefit Of foreign producers and foreign
labor. National taxation should be so ad-
iusted as to raise revenue sufficient for an
economic and wise administration of the gov.
ernment, for the payment of the public debt
for the development of national resources,
and for national defense; but any reduction
should be so made as not to impair the pros
perity of home industries. American markets
must be preserved to the products of American
labor and capital, and protected from foreign
encroachments.

LEGAL 1MPERTINENCE.
What Justice Field Thinks of Judge
Honman's Opinion.

A reporter called upon Mr.. Justice Field,
OF the United States Supreme Court, yester-
day and asked II any application had been
made to him in behalf of the anarchists.
The justice replied that NJ application had
been made.
II application were made, he said, to
Judge Of the Supreme Court in the city OF
Washington, other than the one from
whose circuit the case should come, It
would be referred to the Judge of that cir
cult, In this case to Mr.. Justice Harlan; or,
II he were not In the city, to the chief jus.

"What Ia the meaning" querled the re.
porter, "of the dissenting opinion OF Judge
Hoffman, Of California, In the railroad

"Judge Hoffman and Judge Sabin, district
judges, were invited to sit on the bench Of
the circuit court when the case was argued,
though they were not legally members of
the court. When the decision was rendered
Judge Hoffman was not on the bench, and
could not, according to the practice OF fei

important question before the next legisla-

business ability, well qualified to understand
and discuss such measures as may be needed
TO protect the interests Of the people and
restore the credit Of the state. When such
man will give his services to the state

THE Linotype Machine Company is a
joint stock company, which It is proposed
to ofganize under District laws for the pur-
pose Of utilizing the much talked OF Wash

probably to our readers as the Mergenthaler
printing machine. great deal Of money
has been invested in this device by Wash

have brought 1t to what is claimed to be a
state Of thorough efficiency approaching
perfection have been continued during a
number Of years The bars from which the

STREET RAILROADS.
How They Should be Constructed for
tho City's Renefit

tho City's Benefit.
Capt. Griffin has submitted bis report an
sweriDg certain questions asked by Senator
Ingalls,. Several Of them, he considers,
come under the engineer commissioner
He states that the northeast section wants
additional railroad facilities, aud suggests
a road on Maryland avenue from North
Capitol street to Boundary. In speaking of
the rails he thinks that those durable and
permitting the passing of vehicles without
obstruction should be required. The rails
should be Of steel and laid flush with the
street. The groove rail, he thinks, Is well
adapted for this purpose. All parts Of the
track should be buried, and the rails secured
TO stringers by screws. Statistics are given
showing the cost Of repairs yearly made by
the street railway companies. The yearly
average cost Of the Washington and George
town Railroad Company per mile for main
tenance is 1920 SO. The Metropolitan Is
placed at 81 300 So per mile OF double track
He suggests that Congress be asked to pass
law requiring the street railway companies
to lay groved rails, at least at street cross
ings. The receipts Of the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company from 1880
to 1887 amounted S3,255,s54 ~.

IMpORTANT DEFECTS FOUND
In the Designs for the Machinery of
the Battle Ships.

1t has been discovered that the designs
for the machinery Of the 5000 ton battle
ship which were purchased from the Barrow
shipbuilding Company Of England are de-
fective in an important feature. The boilers
in this plant are arranged in pairs, with but
one ilue to each pair. As consequence 1t
is believed that If by any mischance one Of
the blowers should fail when the vessel is
under forced draft the flame and smoke
from the opposite boiler furnace would be
driven into the fireroom, greatly endanger-
ing the lives Of the stokers. The Barrow
company will be informed Of this defect
and requested to correct 1t In the working
drawings. The board appointed to make
estimates Of the cost of constructing the
vessel will meet again tomorrow. They
have been working hard to get the figures
down to the $4,000, 900 appropriated by
Congress for this ship, and they are in such
shape at present that it is believed that
about 100000 of the appropriation can be
saved.

The Real Surplus.

The Treasurer of the United States re-
ports that on the 1st Of September there
WIGS $500, ,066, $40 90 OF actual cash in the
treasury of the United States, and only
$44, $50, ,906.s6 OF this sum Is an actual sur
plus, not dedicated to some especial pur-
pose.
The wellinformed correspondent OF the
New Orleans Picaytn,e says of this:
The statement published some days ago that
there was only a surplus OF $4,000 900 IN the
United States treasury is obtained by the flc-
ton ofsetting aside 800 900 600 as reserve fund.-
By the same style Of figuring the whole sur
plus might be disposed of, but this, of course
would not help the market.
But a great deal more than this might
have been added to the available cash in
the Treasury. For Instance, the treasurer
takes out Of the available cash $ll1 ,093,-
509.95 for the redemption Of national bank
notes. and $50, 1853, ,33101 OF fractional
silver" and "minor" coin, which, for some
unexplainable reason, Secretary Manning
decided could not be used for the payment
Of the public debt To these he adds gold,
silver, and legal tender certificates to the
amount Of $29, 1850, for which the gold
silver, and legal tenders are In the treasury,
but which certificates have not been pal
out.
The act of May 81, 1873, repealed the
law under which a reserve was held to re-
deem and destroy legal tender notes, SO
this 100000, 900 is improperly held. The
act reads as follows
Bet enacted, &C., That from and after the
passage of this act 1t shall not be lawful for the
Secretary of the Treasury, or other officer under
him, TO cancel or retire any more of the United
States legal tender notes, and when any OF said
notes may be redeemed or be received into
the treasury, under any law, from any source
whatever, and shall belong to the United
States. they shall not be retired, Cancelled, or
destroyed; but they shall be reissued and paid
out again. and kept in circulation PrOriiet,
That nothing herein shall prohibit the cancel
lAtlon and destruction of mutilated notes ana
the issue Of other notes OF like denomination
in their stead, as now provided by law.
All acts and parts Of acts in conflict herewith
are hereby repealed
The act has been held constitutional by
the Supreme Court Of the United States, so
that there is no question as TO the validity
OF the law, ~. s. s. c. r., Vol. 40, p. 421. }
There are less than S2O0,OOO,OOO OF ma.

$4,000, 600 In the United States treasury,
which could be used to relieve the strln-
gency OF the money market, there is over
100000, 600 The "nction" is OF more start
ling proportions than the Picdy,no CORE
spondent maleit.
The treasury bookkeepers undertake to
mystify the people. Machiavelli, the great
diplomat, said words were intended to con-
ceal thoughts, and the treasury experts
evidently believe that figures are intended
o conceal facts-at least they use them for
that purpose.
Why such system is adopted is easily
explained. The policy of~his administ,d.
ton is one Of contraction 1t favors, pure
and simple, the single gold standard, and
is In favor Of demonetizlng the silver dollar
by the stoppage OF the coinage as now pro-
vided by law.
Edwards Pierrepont, Attorney General
during the administration OF President
Grant, has written upon the depression of
trade, the fall In the prices OF lands, rents,
commodities and the fall OF silver, most
excellent pamphlet. In that he says:
"Neithcr trade, the price Of farm products,
nor any enterprises Of any Kind ercr er-
pdnded under a plan to contrast The cur.
rcncy."
This administration has not only refused
from Its incep ion to expand the currency
by the coinage OF silver as authorized by
law, but 1t has contracted 1t, by so admiuis
tering the finances as to absorb all kinds Of
currency in the vaults Of the treasury, at
the same time refusing to permit the repre-
sentatives Of the people to assemble aud
provide methods OF relief.
